A grandmother has been arrested after her granddaughter was stabbed and placed into a hot oven.
Carolyn Jones, 48, is charged with first-degree murder for the death of her granddaughter in Shaw, Miss., Bolivar County Sheriff Kelvin Williams confirmed to NBC News.
The victim, 20-month-old Royalty Marie Floyd, was found by a relative who then contacted the Shaw Police Department. Upon arriving at the scene, the police contacted the Bolivar County Sheriff’s Office for assistance.
Royalty was living with her grandmother before her death. It is unclear where the girl’s parents were at the time.
Jones had a court appearance Tuesday evening and was given a $500,000 bond.
When asked why Jones might have possibly killed her granddaughter, Williams told reporters:
We’re trying to figure that out ourselves. We have no idea at this point. Again, we might get some closure once we sit down with the investigator and once they present that to a judge for official charges.

A mother who says she received the heart of a dead soldier has developed strange cravings for beer and now experiences some unusual things.
Sheron Williamson’s daughter watched her “die” in hospital when her heart stopped and her monitor flatlined. But medics brought her back. However, they warned that she would die within two weeks if she doesn’t get a new heart.
Four days later, she received one, believed to have been from a soldier who died from injuries sustained in the Iraq War.
When Ms Williamson, 50, who now lives in Solihull, awoke from the operation, she started to experience strange, unexplained symptoms. The 50-year-old believes the strange symptoms were down to “wearing somebody else’s heart”.
She told the Sunday Mercury:
When I woke up, there were wires all coming out of me – and all I could smell was wet woolly socks.
Apparently. I was screaming that I wanted a beer. It’s all I kept saying.
Eventually, a member of my family was able to bring me a can of beer into the ward, and I just spat it out.
Who knows, but perhaps it was because I was wearing a soldier’s heart that I was getting his cravings.
All I could smell was those socks for about a year, but thankfully it’s faded now.

A 20-year-old lady, Amina Hassan, has filed a lawsuit against her father, Adamu Hassan, before a Sharia Court at Magajin Gari, Kaduna over his refusal to allow her marry to her fiance.
In the court papers filed by her lawyer, Ado Ali, Amina who resides with her grandmother on Bashama Road, Tudun Wada, Kaduna, argued that she is old enough to decide whom she wants to spend the rest of her life with and that she expects her father to respect her choice of a suitor.
She asked the court to compel her father to join her in marriage and that if her father would not, the court should marry her off to the man she loves.
According to her lawyer, he had made attempts to convince the father to soften his stand, to no avail. According to the counsel, the father is withholding his blessing because the suitor has no regard for him.
In his submission, the presiding judge, Malam Dahiru Lawal, noted that even though the father had the right to assess his daughter’s suitors, he has no right to force anyone on her.
He asked that her father be presented in court on October 29th.
A Twitter user, has called out feminists after a recent incident she experienced in Abuja.
According to her, her car got stuck in a gutter and even after turning on her panic light for help, no female driver stopped to help. She went on to thank the men who stopped to help her out in the rain, before her mechanic arrived.
Read her tweets below;
I don’t get why Misandrists/Online feminists hate men. THREAD. It rained Heavily today in Abuja and on my way back from School run, my car fell inside gutter. My two kids were in the car, still raining heavily, the gutter was full and I didn’t know what to do. I tried reversing
But the tyre was deep inside the gutter and reversing will just spoil my bumper and car more. No car was stopping.(prolly cos it was raining heavily or maybe they couldn’t see me) Picked up my phone, called the Engr and he said he will be there once the rain stops.
While waiting for the Engr inside the car I decided to turn my panic light On to avoid someone hitting me unknowingly and in less than a minute, cars were stopping to help me. About 6cars parked to help lift the car. Under heavy Rain, with dirty gutter water touching
Their legs, shoes and trousers! Wow! Anyway, they flagged down more cars to help them lift the car and not even a single female driver stopped. Now what left me speechless was while all this was going on i was inside the car. I tried coming down and they said I shouldn’t bother
Rather I should stay inside and drive either forward or backward when they need me to. Finally they lifted the car and I couldn’t stop thanking them. I get we are fighting for equality and to be respected but that’s not an excuse to insult, hate and attack men.
Imagine if they didn’t stop? Would have stayed there for hours because it’s still Raining and My two kids were in the car. Dear men, I love and Appreciate every one of you don’t let our fight for equality discourage you from
Helping us when we are in dire need. most of these ladies that attack you guys are bitter misandrist that doesn’t know Jack about Feminism.. I’m fighting for a better future for my daughters and not hating on any Men..
The way my fellow women are hating and attacking this post is just WOW! you guys can’t let men have 5seconds of appreciation without bashing them? Keep making a bitter world for your sons! Cos definitely, there are misandrists piled up waiting to attack your sons in future
The immediate family of aide worker, Hauwa Liman, who was killed by Boko Haram members on Monday October 15th, are currently in shock over her death and have refused to accept the sad news that she is dead and will never be seen by them again.
Hauwa who works with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), was kidnapped alongside two of her colleagues by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in March. Herself and one of her colleague, Saifura Ahmed, have been killed by the sect members.
Reacting to her demise, her father, Mohammed Liman in an interview with Channels TV, expressed shock at the demise of his daughter.
“We feel so bad and we are in doubt if she is dead or alive because we didn’t expect her to be killed so suddenly. In fact, we are in doubt because, unless we see her corpse or any evidence that shows she is dead, we still believe that she is living. She is living,” her father insisted with her mom and other women in the home breaking down in tears intermittently
Struggling to keep his emotions in check, Liman appealed to the Federal government to ensure that the sect members return her corpse to them for proper burial.
“I appeal to the insurgents to release her because she is not a warring party. She is a humanitarian worker. She treats the young and the women and she is so helpful, even to them; not only to the whole society – even to them. We appeal to the government, if she was dead at all, we want the corpse to be brought and we bury her. That will give us peace of mind. Otherwise, we will never forget such an incident in our lives” her dad pleaded.
Hauwa’s mother, Iyakachi, says she is yet to come to terms that her child had died.
“Up to this moment my mind has not told me that my daughter is dead. Because if you see what happened, these people want money. Now after Buhari agreed that he’d give the money, why is the gap between when he gave his consent and when this incidence happened so close? If a person wants money and they agreed to give him the money is he supposed to do this? Another thing is they (Hauwa and her colleagues) are humanitarian workers and are not supposed to be killed, and they are women. Why were they killed? And the ICRC had already pleaded with them to spare their staff and they even rendered them help as humanitarian workers. If this truly happened then it’s wrong. And, me, I strongly believe, that my daughter is not dead.” she said amidst tears
Based on her belief about her daughter’s fate, she also called on the government to act.
“The government should investigate; if this girl is still alive, they should just bring her back. I don’t need anything except my child. If they can try and confirm that my daughter is well and alive, they should bring her back; that’s all,” she said.

The lie was uncovered after residents gathered to mourn his son, Junior which was followed by a vigil – however after the mourners insisted on seeing the boy’s corpse to pay their last respect, they only saw a log of wood in the casket.

Madagascar triumphed 1-0 at home against Group A rivals Equatorial Guinea on Tuesday to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament for the first time.
Thailand-based midfielder Njiva Rakotoharimalala scored the only goal four minutes before half-time on the huge Indian Ocean island.
The victory lifted the ‘Barea’ (prized cattle) to 10 points from four games and beyond the reach of Equatorial Guinea and Sudan in a four team mini-league from which the top two qualify.
It was the second 1-0 victory for the Malagasy over the Equatoguineans within four days after captain Faneva Ima Andriatsima scored the winner in the reverse fixture last Saturday.
Madagascar are the first country apart from hosts Cameroon to secure a place at the biennial African football showcase, with the 2019 edition set for June 15 to July 13.
They qualified despite having to play a preliminary tie, won 4-2 on aggregate against Sao Tome e Principe, and being seeded fourth behind Senegal, Equatorial Guinea and Sudan.
Senegal will also secure a place among the 24 finalists if they defeat pointless Sudan in Khartoum later Tuesday.
Qualification for the Malagasy came after 18 failed attempts since 1970, with French coach Nicolas Dupuis drawing players from Europe, Asia and Africa.
The standard starting side includes four footballers based in France, one each in Algeria, Belgium, Egypt, Reunion, Saudi Arabia and Thailand, and one local.
Previously unknown in Africa, Dupuis took charge in March 2017 and has transformed Madagascar from traditional whipping boys to a team that held Senegal last month.

Friends have taken to Facebook to condemn the police brutality directed towards Nigerians in the diaspora. They have also called for justice for Bamo.

President Buhari has said that the sheer desperation that makes Nigerian youths dare both the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea, all in the bid to take up menial jobs in Europe, is hurting the pride of the country and that his government will do everything it can to make Nigeria a liveable place for young men and women.
President Buhari said this during a farewell audience with the outgoing High Commissioner of the Republic of Namibia, His Excellency, Peingeondjabi Shipoh.
With great potentials in Africa, President Buhari decried illegal exodus to Europe, at grave risk to lives and limbs, and then pledged: “We will do our best to make our country live-able again.”
The outgoing High Commissioner, who spent four years and eleven months in Nigeria, said the country had become second home for himself and his family, submitting
“I enjoyed great support in carrying out my duties. I return home with absolute satisfaction that our two countries are more than ready for intra-African trade and exchange of state visits by the leaders. Our two countries have a lot in common, and Africa can only be developed by Africans themselves.”
Mr Shipoh wished Nigeria successful general elections in 2019.
A man pretending to be mad has been apprehended by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC in Akure, Ondo state, on suspicion of being a kidnapper.
The suspect, simply identified as Dele, was arrested on Monday around the Isikan area in the capital city.
The supposedly mad man was seen wandering the area alone and acting funny, witnesses told Sahara Reporters – his action aroused the interest of residents and they immediately called for active vigilance.
The eyewitness said the culprit was quickly surrounded and handed over to the officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). When the fake mad man’s phone was searched, they saw a credit alert of N1.5 million.
Pedro Awili, the Commandant of the NSCDC in Ondo State, confirmed his arrest on Tuesday afternoon. Awili said the culprit was handed to the Corps’ Quick Respons Squad (QRS) for immediate arrest.
He later paraded the arrested culprit and seven other criminals for various offences before journalists at the command’s Alagbaka office.
Awili told newsmen:
The QRS team of the Command on October 15 arrested one Dele who was pretending as a madman at Isikan area of Akure with Itel phone.
When our men arrested him and checked his mobile phone after some few seconds, he got a payment alert of N1.5 million into his account.
Immediately the alert entered, he forcefully collected the mobile phone and smashed it on the floor. We went to repair the mobile phone to know and ascertain the person that sent the money to him and the persons he is working for.
The Ondo NSCDC boss said the suspect belongs to a gang of serial kidnap syndicate terrorizing people and innocent residents of the state.
He vowed that the command would investigate the case to a conclusion and ensure justice is properly served on the culprit and his cohorts in the state.
Nigerian Pastor Timothy Omotoso, 58, is currently facing a string of charges including rape, and the alleged trafficking of more than 30 girls and women – one of his victims spoke up in court and detailed the sexual assault she suffered in his hands.
Cheryl Zondi, 22, who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Pastor Timothy Omotoso, waived her right to anonymity in the sex trial involving Omotoso and his two alleged henchwomen because she wanted the world to know what type of person he is.
She told the Port Elizabeth High Court on Monday that at the time she was sexually assaulted by the pastor she believed God was on his side.
While being cross-examined by Peter Daubermann, Zondi was asked about her first encounter with the televangelist at his mission house in Durban.
Zondi testified that she was 14 years old when she was summoned to Omotosho’s bedroom – Zondi said she was told by Omotoso to lock the door as she entered.
The teenager explained that she knelt beside Omotoso who was in his bed under the sheets. She said he signalled for her to sit next to him on the bed.
She detailed the sexual assault, claiming that Omotoso hugged her tightly, pulled on her bra strap and pushed her on the bed. Zondi said while she was fully clothed she felt his erect penis between her thighs. She told the court that she did not resist and was aware that she was being sexually attacked and knew that such behaviour was wrong.
Dauberman asked Zondi:
You were in a room alone with a man. You say you were scared. What did you think was going to happen? Didn’t you wonder why the door was locked?
Zondi replied that it was scary but it was also a privilege because Omotoso was thought to be a man of God. She said she wanted him to be her musical mentor and thought that he would train her.
Dauberman asked her:
Why did you not scream, mam? You knew there were other people in the house, they would hear you?
Zondi said she was scared and the girls in the house were loyal to Omotoso.
She further explained why she did not dare to object to his advances, saying she was shocked and confused and just said to him:
“I just have to get used to the way things work in this house.”
Zondi said that even if she screamed for help nobody would have intervened. She said that at the time she thought God would be on Omotoso’s side in committing a sexual assault.
Zondi explained again that she was too scared to oppose Omotoso because anyone who opposed him would die, so she allowed him to continue.
At night, Zondi said she was again summoned to his room where she thought she would definitely get raped.
I thought he would rape me and I should allow him to do what he wanted to do. I did not want to face the wrath of God, said Zondi.
This time she was instructed to remove her clothing, and Zondi said Omotoso penetrated her vagina slightly but was careful not to go all the way. She further described him rubbing himself against her genital area until he climaxed.
A young man has taken to a popular Nigerian forum to express his disappointment after going through his cheating girlfriend’s Facebook chat.
According to him, he realised the lady easily gives out her contacts to strangers and still meets with other men that she came across of the platform.
Read his narrative below,
The reason why i came here for advice is to avoid taking a decision that i will not regret in future.
There is a girl I met at a friend’s wedding sometime last year, she is 24 years and a 200L student while I am 30 years old postgraduate student but an amateur when it comes to relationship.
We started dating, at first I wasn’t serious because I don’t have enough money to take care of a girl, as a student sponsoring myself, I hardly have enough money to take care of her needs, she always complain that I don’t take care of her which her friend’s guy use to take care of her, the girl in question always advice my girl to quit our relationship because I am a broke guy and even if I get a job in future I will dump her for another lady, that I am just deceiving her.
Nevertheless she do assure her that I will not disappoint her, despite her friend’s advice the love grew even stronger, at times she will buy me some gifts, me too I do buy some for her, having seen the commitment in her, then I started paying attention to her hoping that if things work well I will take her to the alter.
But, there was a day she called me to come and meet her at a particular Junction, on my arrival to the place I saw her exchanging phone number with a guy in car, upon enquiry, I discovered that she did not know the guy before, then I left home quietly she later called and apologized which I accepted.
Another time I called her around 10pm and I discovered that she blacklisted my number, she did this twice which I confronted her and suggested that we should quit, she begged me and cry for Africa then I accepted her back again.
After that, sometimes she will not pick my calls in the night and the following day she will giving excuses that she was sleeping, her phone is on silence or she plugged in her neighbors house etc, I started withdrawing from her, she called me one day and started crying that what her friends were advising her was true, I was just using her, I am just like other guys, she know the reason why I am doing this, is because she asked me to go and see her parents bla bla.
To fast forward the story, she login her Facebook account on my phone and she forgot to logout, when I went through her chat I discovered that she use to give people they meet on Facebook her phone number and according to the chart I discovered that she met one yesterday, I also discovered that she is still having an affairs with her ex.
Note: Anytime i call her to come to my house she used to come.
I feel like quitting the relationship but because of sympathy and I don’t want it to look as if I disappointed her. Honestly I am seriously confused, now my question is this; is it wrong that I went through her chat?
Second, what should I do? should I confront her? or should I quit quietly?
A Nigerian Lady took to a popular Facebook Group, to share chats between herself and her Ex, whom she reveals still sends her monthly allowance.

Brandley identified those killed as 62-year-old Juan Espinoza Sr.; 20-year-old Juan Sandoval III; 22-year-old Jeremy Sandoval; and 25-year-old Nicky Sandoval. He said the three younger men are grandsons to Juan Espinoza Sr.
A 20-year-old man was in custody, Brandley said. The man’s 37-year-old father was also a suspect, but he had not yet been arrested, Brandley added.
